Answer

$x=\dfrac{7}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, the value of the variable that satisfies the given equation, $
9+6x=23
,$ is
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
6x=23-9
\\\\
6x=14
\\\\
x=\dfrac{14}{6}
\\\\
x=\dfrac{\cancel{2}\cdot7}{\cancel{2}\cdot3}
\\\\
x=\dfrac{7}{3}
.\end{array}
